Art Pants is a 365 day-long-daily-photography-challenge, featuring Will Roegge and Linhbergh Nguyen which was started on November 1st, 2009. Our goal is to each publish one photograph a day for an entire year. But different from usual "photo 365s" out there, we've set ourselves a rules to abide by throughout the year:
1. No photos of anything automobile related
2. No self portraits.
Both of those rules are there to prevent us from going the easy route on taking our daily photos, or in other words, to use a crutch. The purpose of this project is to make the both of us think outside of our usual subjects and expand our creative defaults. The harder we make it upon ourselves, the better off we'll be creatively (or so we hope so!) come Novemeber 1st 2010.
We'll also be having different 'theme weeks' throughout the year. These themes could range from different subject matters; places, portraits, grass, sunrises, landscapes, faces, etc, etc. Or it could even be a technical theme; biggest aperature, smallest aperature, slow shutter speeds, 35mm film, camera phone fast action, etc....
We would love to hear your input throughout the course of the year. If you have ANY ideas for theme weeks or shots you'd like to see, let us know!
Oh, we both love black coffee and we both love Art Pants.
Day #59 – Here is the last in my series of family portraits. The third shot of my mom. Who was riding in the back seat on a mini rod trip to go visit my sister after Christmas. Hi Mom. Shot with a Canon 7D with a Zeiss 35mm f2. I like the background colors and how the dark jacket really makes her face pop.
- I too also love the colors in the background. I loved your mini-series a lot. Your photos showed us not just who your family, is, but also really, you who are, and why you think, and act the way you do. Each photo was deeply personal, intimate and gave us all a great insight into a very private part of your life. Thank you.December 31, 2009 - 2:06 am
- Welcome Linh, glad you enjoyed the images. Thank you for the nice comment. My parents read the pants and I'm sure they are happy to read your response to the shots.January 2, 2010 - 12:08 am
